Key result
Atm. press.:
>= 97.6 - <= 98 kPa
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
no exact boiling behaviour was observed

The reference measurements, the preliminary and the main tests were carried out at 97.6 – 98.0 kPa atmospheric pressure.

During the first main test no exact boiling behaviour was observed. At about 165°C the test item started to turn slightly brown, then melted at about 170°C. The molten test item was dark brown, almost black. From about 345°C a few bubbles were observed, but from 360°C, due to the suspected densification, the formation of bubbles apparently stopped.

Considering the results obtained during the preliminary and the main tests, no further testing was required.

Conclusions:
No defined boiling point of NEXAMITE® A56 was determined in the study, as no exact boiling behaviour was observed, but an apparent degradation process was recorded (with densification and colour change of the test item).
Executive summary:

The principle of study was based on the Siwoloboff method. A small amount of the test item was used to fill a glass tube and was heated at a rate of 0.5°C/minute.

During the controlled heating the appearance, consistency and colour of the sample were observed and recorded.

 

No defined boiling point of NEXAMITE® A56 was determined in the study, as no exact boiling behaviour was observed, but an apparent degradation process was recorded (with densification and colour change of the test item).

Description of key information
